The story of a Cigarette

This may not be true to some, but i think its largely true...since i have gone thru this i will share wht i feel about it...how does one start smoking...for me it was the peers...for most it is the same..i did not want to smoke..i just wanted to be able to take a puff and leave it out wid flourish..trying to do tat got me addicted..to fit in..along with everybody...it might hurt somebody's ego to accept tat but its true wid almost every smoker..once the smoking is started...i started associating smoking with different feelings..

"i am happy..lets celebrate and have a smoke "

"i am tensed...man i need a smoke"

"bugger i fought wid my girlfren..lets go have smoke"

etc etc etc

Wht happens is when u smoke, the tobacco makes ur brain release dopamine which is also released during sensations such as happiness,joy etc. so ppl might say that they smoke cuz it give them the feeling of happiness..NOT TRUE..

At first its cool...then u lik the buzz...but aftr sometim ur body gets adjusted to it..Damn no buzz anymore...only the first cigarette gets u the buzz..soon that doesnt happen anymore as well..then u stil cont smokin..why? cuz its the associations..

its lik some ppl write a diary not cuz they can express themseves but cuz everybody writes it...soon they jus report events rather than feelings which doesnt serve the purpose at al..

To quit you have to first stop the associations..the associations are already there..then replace them wid somethin else..

"i am happy...lets have beer/chocolate"

"i am sad..let me go pet my dog"

etc

those who wanna quit don have to fight so hard if your emotional support systems(read associations) are strong

So smokers if you do come across this post pls leave a comment regarding my theory
